How to Install ELK Stack on RHEL 8 / CentOS 8

In this blog post, I’ll show you how to install and configure ELK Stack on RHEL 8 / CentOS 8. “ELK” is the acronym for three open source projects: Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana. Below is a short description of each tool in the stack.

Elasticsearch: This is an open source, distributed, RESTful, JSON-based search engine. It is scalable, easy to use, and flexible

Logstash : This is a server‑side data processing pipeline that ingests data from multiple sources simultaneously, transforms it, and then sends it to a “stash” like Elasticsearch.
